I just spent the past 4 days in eastern Kentucky where I grew up visiting with my mother in a relatively densely populated area and also at my late father’s place in a remote area.
my mother (ca. 75 yo, active in the community, super intelligent, etc.) had not heard of this case. At. All. I was shocked. (But I quickly filled her in)
The few folks I ran into near my dad’s place were equally uninformed. No one knew what I was talking about.
These places are not close to the AT…but…they are…off the beaten path…for lack of a better term.
just putting this out there bc it feels to me like all of America and the whole world knows about this case but, that’s actually not true.
BL could get to a small community in almost any state and go unnoticed and that’s scary.
jmo.
